PREFACE.

In the following pages will be found the result, in a condensed form, of most of the recent, and several of the more important and less recent, Maritime Law Decisions, with complete Alphabetical References to the various points decided thereby. In each case the date of trial is given, together with the weight of legal authority in favor of and against the decision arrived at, and the decision itself very briefly, but, where possible, in the words used in the judgment.

Although I have taken every care to avoid errors, I fear I shall not have succeeded entirely, and I have to crave the leniency of my readers.

I think a work of this kind, gathering within itself information extracted from a variety of sources, will be found useful to mercantile

men.

Our law is based almost exclusively upon precedent, and the merit I claim for this publication is that, to some extent at all events, it enables parties, in case of a dispute, to appraise their relative legal positions.
